Chicago's Margarita Power Rankings

"There are only three margarita options at Antique Taco, but they’re balanced and surprisingly potent. The rosemary house special has a unique herbaceousness while still tasting light and citrusy, and the strawberry lemon and tropical mezcal are both good too. Importantly, they’re available by the quart if you want to be economical, or you can get a single serving in a colorful plastic cup adorned with a smiley face. Outdoor seating is limited to a few picnic tables (the Bridgeport location is bigger), but it’s a great alternative to Big Star if you don’t want to worry about neighboring tables reenacting LMFAO’s music video for "Shots." - john ringor, veda kilaru
